WILLIAM ROBERT SPENCER
English poet
(1769 - 1834)

Be merry all, be merry all,
  With holly dress the festive hall;
    Prepare the song, the feast, the ball,
      To welcome merry Christmas.
      - [Christmas]

Too late I staid, forgive the crime,
  Unheeded flew the hours;
    How noiseless falls the foot of Time
      That only treads on flow'rs!
        What eye with clear account remarks
          The ebbing of his glass,
            When all its sands are diamond sparks
              That dazzle as they pass?
                Ah! who to sober measurement
                  Time's happy swiftness brings,
                    When birds of Paradise have lent
                      Their plumage for his wings?
      - To the Lady Anne Hamilton [Time]
